B-Side

[Verse 1-A]

I see you two-steppin’ at the honky-tonk,
Your smile’s so bright, like whiskey on the rocks.
I’m sitting in shadows by the jukebox light,
Wishin’ you’d see me later on tonight.

[Verse 1-B]

You’re swingin’ to his rhythm as the country band plays,
I’m suckin’ down longnecks puttin’ on charades,
He’s your one hit wonder, I’m your hidden track,
Don’t you worry darlin’, cause I’m hangin’ out back.

[Chorus]

I don’t wanna be your late-night, your what-if, or your second hand choice,
Waiting by the porch steps, with the lights on, for your lonely heart’s voice.
I wanna be the only one who sets your world on fire,
Not a throwaway tune when his bad notes expire.
I wanna go from your B-side to your A-ride,
So flip your bad self over and play my way.

[Verse 2-A]

You sing his praises by fire’s faint light,
Skippin’ my tune that’s outta sight,
B-sides hold a deeper sound,
Hearts like mine waitin’ to be found.

[Verse 2-B]

He’s king of the hill, got a toast in his hand,
But when it’s over, will he understand?
I’m the song you’ll recall, as the night drifts on,
The one you’ll keep playing, long after he’s gone.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

When his chorus fades to silence,
I’ll be the groove your heart longs for,
Turn it over let the lost be found,
Your B-side lover’s always been around.

[Chorus]

[Outro]

I’ll keep singing steady as the river runs,
Til you call this B-side your number one,
We’ll dance til the morning light comes
No flips left darlin’…
‘Cause this here song is done.
